Friend Friday: Thankfulness

This week Katie of ModlyChic asked everyone participating in this week’s Friend Friday topic to write a list of what we are thankful for. With everything that has happened to me lately, I have a lot to be thankful for.

Think and Thank

via

  • October 1st Jasper was warmly welcomed into our family. He has brought smiles to all of our faces. He was born early, yet absolutely nothing was wrong with him. Not even a tinge of jaundice. For as tiny as he was I am amazed that every little part of him was in perfect working order. Now I am thankful that he is nursing well for me, and taking bottles like a champ when I’m at work. He is growing like a weed despite his small beginning.
  • Recently my grandmother passed away. Even now it may bring tears to my eyes, but the wonderful memories greatly outweigh the sadness. I’m thankful for little things I have that remind me of her, and put a smile on my face. I inherited a mixer from her. It is the same mixer that my sister and I would use to make cookies at Grandma’s house. Now I have the honor of using it with my own daughter.
  • I’m thankful for a job that I love. Sharing my love of dance with the students I teach is a wonderful experience. I love watching them perform in our end of the year recital. The smile on their faces after they have put in all of that hard work is priceless.
  • I’m thankful for ever renewing patience with my daughter. Not everybody could listen to her talk all day long!
  • Seems silly, but I’m thankful for Pinterest. Whenever I open it up I find so much inspiration (crafts, food photography, style, etc.)
  • I’m thankful for the rest of my family too. So many more laughs to be had with these guys/gals.
  • I am thankful for my body. For all of the amazing transformations it went through last year. For how strong I am. Thankful that I bounce back fast, and have already returned to the dance floor after giving birth. I am also thankful that this morning I fit back into my absolutely favorite jeans!

So “It” Begins

What is “It” I’m talking about? Kendi Everday’s 30 for 30 remix challenge. The rules are to pick out 30 pieces and remix them exclusively for 30 days. Here are my pieces for the challenge. Accessories don’t count, and I had to not include leggings. Some of the items I chose to wear are appropriate without leggings, but for work I have to have the extra coverage. Hope that doesn’t break the rules too much.
